Bookroo's summary

Danny Dragonbreath, the only mythical creature at his school, struggles with his inability to breathe fire. Teased by bullies, he finds solace in his unique family. When his sea-serpent cousin invites him and his iguana friend on an underwater journey, Danny discovers a world of giant squids and vomiting sea cucumbers. This unexpected adventure might just be the key to completing his ocean report and proving that being different has its perks. Will Danny find his own kind of magic beneath the waves?

From the publisher

It’s not easy for Danny Dragonbreath to be the sole mythical creature in a school for reptiles and amphibians?especially because he can’t breathe fire like other dragons (as the school bully loves to remind him). But having a unique family comes in handy sometimes, like when his sea-serpent cousin takes Danny and his best iguana friend on a mindboggling underwater tour, complete with vomiting sea cucumbers and giant squid. It sure beats reading the encyclopedia to research his ocean report . . .Using a hybrid of comic-book panels and text, Ursula Vernon introduces an irresistible set of characters with a penchant for getting themselves into sticky situations. It’s perfect for both the classroom and fans of Wimpy Kid and Bad Kitty.
